Tony Sweet Revisited



Today’s photograph is again based upon Tony Sweet’s technique of taking multiple exposures.   This time, I took nine photographs while moving the camera from high right to low left.   I wanted to try to create a look like an impressionism painting, so I had to have a lot of shutter releases over a very short period.   I set my camera to continuous high speed shutter release which produces nine frames per second.  I have no idea of how many times I tried to get this image—but, it was a lot.   This is the best I have to offer.



Camera settings:  Nikon D3, 17-35mm f/2.8 at 24, at ISO 200, f/11 and 1/500 of a second for each individual release of the shutter

Post Processing:  Lightroom—set white and black point, and added mid-tone contrast and increased color saturation of reds and greens.

  1. I think you need to see a much bigger image of this one to get the effect. When I click and see the larger photo I can see a diagonal of the different shots but it is not really that visible. The technique seems interesting and I can see how you would have to do it a number of times to get it down. I will definitely try it on my D80.
    Thanks for all the information you give out.

  2. I like your description of this method but I do not like this pix. You really cannot see much detail. I like a lot of the stuff you post and the information you provide. Please keep posting. Sorry I do not like this one.
